TimeGate Studios announces the release of Skirmish mode for Section 8: Prejudice, the promised free update to their multiplayer first-person shooter. The new mode is now available for the Windows and Xbox 360 editions, and will be part of the PlayStation 3 edition of the game, which is scheduled for release today. Here's word on the new mode: "Skirmish mode pits the 8th Armored Infantry against the Arm of Orion in a team death match with a twist. Victory Points are awarded per each kill and DCMs completed. Control Points cannot be captured nor hacked in this game mode." They also plan a Game with Devs Night for the 360 edition on Sunday.

At the end of the day you go back to the better games unless you're a total graphics whore. Why play this when you could play Battlefield 2? Shit, I bet more people are playing Halo on PC than this.

It's ridiculous how quickly the numbers of players dropped off for this game. Yesterday I saw 2 games with 2-3 players in it, one assault game with 7 and a single swarm with 3/4 (in Europe, with a 370 ping from Aus).

It's a fun little game but there's virtually no one to actually play it with...
